He joined the Serie A side from Hellas Verona in the summer window and has been used as a holding midfielder and as a centre-back. The former Atalanta man has two assists from 12 games this season, and his versatility and form have pleased Brighton, West Ham and Fulham. It’s said the three English clubs are showing a ‘strong interest’ in Tameze and see him as an ‘ideal player’ for the Premier League, both from physicality and tactical point of view. The Turin club paid €2.8m to secure the Frenchman’s services and handed him a contract until 2026. The report states his meteoric rise has seen his valuation grow exponentially, and is currently valued in excess of €10m by Torino president Urbano Cairo. Although Tutto Atalanta state Brighton, West Ham and Fulham are keen to sign Tameze, they make no mention if these clubs are looking at him for January or next summer."
